X-Plain Neurosurgery
X-Plain Neurosurgery ensures that patients read and understand the vital information you provide them. It engages patients with interactive questions and multimedia.
We offer a large library of neurological surgery titles in a variety of educational formats to suit the preferences of each patient. These formats include videos, tutorials, and illustrated handouts. Please contact us or review the frequently asked questions below for more information. |

How do X-Plain tutorials verify comprehension?
A tutorial is a multimedia presentation that covers a specific health topic. The tutorial asks the patient questions during the presentation to verify understanding. If the patient answers correctly, the concept is reinforced; if not, the tutorial explains the concept again. Contact us for more details.

What is X-Plain Neurosurgery used for?
Our clients use X-Plain Neurosurgery to support and document informed consent, increase patient satisfaction, optimize staff time, mitigate the risk of malpractice, and improve the patient's compliance with home-care instructions.
How is X-Plain Neurosurgery used?
We offer three solutions:
Do I need any hardware to use the product?
Providers who want to use the product at the clinic will need a computer or tablet. If you would like patients to complete the education at home, you don’t need any hardware; the patient will use their own smartphone, tablet or computer.
What format(s) does each topic come in?
You can select from five educational formats: videos, tutorials, illustrated handouts, XML (text-only), and quizzes. Neurosurgery clinics often prefer the tutorial format because it is easy to use. It also ensures that the patient understands the key messages through interactive questions.
How often is the content updated?
The Medical Advisory Board reviews the content of each topic every two years. We update the content as needed in each educational format and all three languages.
Where is the content hosted, and are updates automatic?
The content is hosted on our servers and updates are automatically pushed to clients as they become available.
Can I add titles that are not related to neurosurgery after I license this library?
Yes, we will provide any health topics needed for your neurosurgery clinic.
What is the learning curve for healthcare staff using X-Plain?
The learning curve is minimal. All three solutions are designed intuitively for ease of use. In the X-Plain Patient Education and Documentation System, healthcare providers can select the title they need and then provide the chosen tutorial to their patients. In X-Plain for Tablets, providers can search by keyword or browse the menu. X-Plain for Websites provides a button that says "Patient Education" for use on your website.
What is the learning curve for patients and caregivers using X-Plain?
X-Plain tutorials are very easy to use:
(1) On a tablet, the patient simply swipes left to move forward and right to move backward. To answer a question, the patient touches the answer. To skip to a different section, the patient touches the name of that section in the menu bar.
(2) On a computer, the patient uses the mouse or touchscreen to navigate. The on-screen prompts guide the user through the tutorial.
Does X-Plain assist with informed consent?
Yes, X-Plain supports informed consent. It can document that the patient has completed the program and understood the information presented.
Can I customize the content with the name and logo of my healthcare institution?
Yes. On a large display, we can place the name of the client on each page. On smaller displays (e.g. tablets and smartphones), the name and logo appear on the first page.
Is this solution sold as a subscription?
Yes, the neurosurgery library is sold as an annual subscription. Contact us for a quote. You can cancel the subscription at any time.
Can I try out the solution before buying it?
Yes, we offer a 30-day free trial.
Is there a limit on usage?
No. There are no limitations on the number of users or sessions. You can print the illustrated handouts and run the videos or tutorials as many times as needed.
Does X-Plain Neurosurgery provide protection against malpractice and informed consent liability?
Yes. Since 1995, neurosurgery clinics have relied on X-Plain to mitigate the risk of medical malpractice. X-Plain prevents such malpractice cases by helping patients set realistic expectations, verifying their comprehension of the information, and documenting the educational session. Our patient education materials may be used in a court of law to help dismiss claims that the patient was not adequately informed.
Contact us for more information on how our documentation, archival, and testimonial services work. These services are part of the annual subscription.

How is X-Plain Neurosurgery used?
We offer three solutions:

- Neurosurgery practices that want to use X-Plain in their clinic can use X-Plain for Tablets.
- Neurosurgery offices that want patients to benefit from X-Plain at home can use X-Plain for Websites.
